"Doesn't Matter What Outsiders Say...": Suniel Shetty's Reaction On KL Rahul's Fifty Is Gold

Bollywood superstar Suniel Shetty lauded son-in-law KL Rahul post the batter's unbeaten half-century in the first ODI against Australia. Rahul -- who was going through a rough patch -- bounced back against Australia at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on Friday to guide India to a five-wicket victory. He scored an unbeaten 75 to take the hosts out of hot water and help them win the game. After the knock, Shetty was asked to comment on the innings and the answer seemed to be an indirect but fiery attack at Venkatesh Prasad, who had earlier criticised Rahul on social media for the latter's batting.

Mitchell Starc Haul And Mitchell Marsh Blitz Help Australia Hammer India In 2nd ODI

Mitchell Starc's 5-53 and a blazing 66 by Mitchell Marsh helped Australia demolish India by 10 wickets in the second ODI to level the series at 1-1 on Sunday. Starc, a left-arm quick, rattled the Indian batting with his pace and swing to bundle out the opposition for 117 in 26 overs in Visakhapatnam. Openers Travis Head (51) and Marsh, who smashed six sixes in his 36-ball blitz, then took apart the Indian bowling to romp home in 11 overs and level the three-match series with one game left.

"He Knows That...": Sunil Gavaskar's Brutal Verdict On Virat Kohli After Dismissal In 2nd ODI vs Australia

Virat Kohli on Sunday once again became a victim of LBW dismissal. The batter was dismissed for 31 runs on the bowling of Nathan Ellis as he missed his flick down the leg side in the second ODI against Australia in Visakhapatnam. His mode of dismissal was similar to that in the first ODI in which a Mitchell Starc delivery hit him on the pad and he had to depart for four runs. Former India captain and batter Sunil Gavaskar was unhappy over the fact that Kohli made the same mistake of playing across the line in the second ODI as well.

Mitchell Starc was at his best on Sunday as he helped Australia dominate the second ODI against India at YS Raja Reddy Stadium in Visakhapatnam. In the swing-friendly conditions, Australia skipper Steve Smith won the toss and opted to bowl first. India failed to get off to a good start as left-arm pacer Mitchell Starc dismissed Shubman Gill on the third ball of the first over. Before India could make a recovery, Starc also got the wicket of Rohit Sharma to put the hosts in more trouble. The misery did not end for India as Starc dismissed Suryakumar Yadav on the very next ball. What was interesting to note was the fact that the type of dismissal was the same as the India batter fell to the left-arm pacer in the first ODI.

Starc, who took three wickets in the first ODI, dismissed Shubman Gill, Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav and KL Rahul all inside the powerplay to leave India five down.

"We Might Go With...": Rohit Sharma's Massive Hint On Spin Plan At World Cup

Star batter Rohit Sharma resumed his captaincy duty as Australia opted to bowl against India in the second ODI at the KS Raja Reddy Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Sunday.

Australia left-arm pacer Mitchell Starc was all over India's top-order in the first ODI at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Friday. Starc returned figures of 3/49, dismissing Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav off consecutive deliveries. Former Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria highlighted Kohli's dismissal off Starc's delivery, and fired a warning bell for the star batter. Kaneria suggested that Kohli's struggles against left-arm pacers could haunt him at the World Test Championship (WTC) final, where India are scheduled to play Australia in June.

India vs Australia, 2nd ODI: When And Where To Watch Live Telecast, Live Streaming

India take on Australia in the second ODI of the three match series at the KS Raja Reddy Stadium in Visakhapatnam. KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja stood calm in a tricky chase of 189 to steer India to a five-wicket win in the first ODI. India now look to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series. India will be boosted by the return of captain Rohit Sharma, who had missed the first ODI due to a family commitment. In his absence, Hardik Pandya led the team. Rohit's eturn to captaincy duties will certainly give solidity to the top order, which crumbled to the pace and variations of Australian quick.
